peppermint hot chocolate

rich hot chocolate is one of the greatest things to sip as the holidays get closer. not only is this version plant-based and low in sugar, it also features one of our favorite ingredients... mint!
hot tip: layer the dry ingredients in a 1 and 1/2-cup jar, topped with vegan chocolate chips and marshmallows (we used vegan peppermint marshmallows!) for a super sweet diy gift.
